Dubai Modern High School.

Dubai Modern High School, formerly knows as The Modern High School. I'm proud to say, as I always have been, that I go to that school. This is my 13^th year at modern, and it has been one hell of a journey. I’ve been with the school for the better part of its life and I’ve seen it grow and progress into the school it is today. Surprisingly, I clearly remember my first day at Modern. It was at the Safa Campus and just like majority of the children who were new-comers just like me, were crying as the environment was new to us. But I remember, as clichéd as this may sound, the teacher took my hand, told me that it’s going to be fun and it’ll all be okay and took me into my Kindergarten class. I remember how she spent the better part of the day getting to know us better, taking care of us just how a parent does.

As a new student, Modern was the perfect environment and now that I look back, I don’t think any other school would have made me feel the same way as I did as Modern on my first day.

As Modern has grown over the past 13 years, so have I. And as I’ve grown, I’ve grown immensely attached to this school. I feel a sense of pride in my school. It’s like patriotism. I look at my school now, and I see the high end facilities (which at one point of time I criticized) and I see how modern has risen above the expectations anyone could have ever had.

`This is my school. This is Modern High.

When we first moved into the new grand campus in Nad-Al-Sheba, It wasn’t the same feeling. I guess because I spent most of my years at the other campus, but now I see it to be one of the finest high schools in the region and I feel good about the campus. True, it’s a bit of a showoff, but why can’t we flaunt sometimes?

This week, as my school celebrates its 25^th Anniversary, as it celebrates its silver jubilee and 25 years of excellence, I am proud to call myself a Modernite. 

The Death Penalty, Is It Acceptable?

The Death Penalty.

Is It a justified action?

I’m not stating whether it is or not, I’m just putting forth my opinion on the topic and I ask you to respect it, or argue against it in a respectable manner.

Now everyone will unanimously agree that the life of an individual is the greatest gift/ asset he or she can ever have. It is irreplaceable. So if you look at a life from that perspective, the only thing that can compensate a life is a life. Now we must understand that in most countries, or correct me if I say, all countries, a death penalty is generally given when a person has committed a murder of the highest degree. In most cases even a murderer is not given a death penalty unless there have been multiple murders or the crime is completely unacceptable. So in that case, if a person takes a life, what right does he have to say, my life doesn’t deserve to be taken?

Coming To the point of, how can the court decide whether to take the life or a person? Now the government, which constitutes of the judiciary (Court) is in charge of the law and order of the country. It is their obligation to the residents of the country to ensure peace and the safety of the citizens and the country as a whole. So if one of their citizens is murdered, within their federal boundaries, it is their right and duty to take severe action against the person who has committed the crime. So if a person commits such a crime, he must bear in mind that the government will not just sit back and watch it happen. They will take action.

Also, in my opinion, a death penalty serves as a tool of fear to prevent murders. They think twice before committing a crime. Just like in the olden days, the concept of ‘blood and iron‘and ‘an eye for an eye & a tooth for a tooth’ this concept keeps the people in check.

It might seem really heartless, but I’m completely FOR the policy of The Death Penalty because the people who've been sentenced to death have brought to themselves.

So Until Next Time,

A Short Apology.

I apologize to my fellow bloggers and my followers for not blogging for a while.
In my defense, Boards ended. So you can't blame me for being a little busy :P
I promise to blog soon :)

The Sky. Its like the Birthplace of Thoughts.

Do you ever have those days? Those days where you just look out your window. Just watch the sky. The clouds passing by. Occasionaly seeing a mother taking her child out for a walk or a kid taking his dog for a walk?

The day you just let your mind wander. Without thinking of the time that you're spending, or of anything or anyone else.



I do. Quite a lot :) just leave the window open and just watch. Thinking of everything and nothing at the same time :)

It feels nice. Leaving your worries aside for a brief period of time :) just wandering in thought. Watching the cars move by. Just watching Life move by.
It feels great :) try it out sometime :)

Until Next Time,
